View allI'm dealing with these keloid scars on my chest and shoulders, and they're really itchy and quite large. I'm looking for a treatment that doesn't involve surgery or steroid injections because my uncle had some unexpected results with those. It seems to run in the family since my grandfather, father, and uncle all have them too. Any advice on other treatment options that might work for me?
Keloid scars can be challenging to treat, especially if surgery or steroid injections have not been effective in the past. One option to consider is using silicone gel sheets, which have been shown to help flatten and soften keloid scars. You can try using Mepiform silicone gel sheets, applying them to the affected areas for at least 12 hours a day for several months to see improvement. Additionally, using pressure therapy with products like Jobskin pressure garments can also help reduce the size and thickness of keloid scars. It's important to be consistent with these treatments and be patient, as results may take time to show.

I'm curious about the cysteine treatment I've been getting for my frizzy and dull hair these past two years. Is it actually good for my hair?
Cysteine treatment can be beneficial for hair, particularly for repairing and restoring damaged hair structure. However, it's essential to use this treatment in moderation and under the guidance of a professional stylist to avoid potential drawbacks. If you've been using cysteine treatment for two years and are satisfied with the results, it's likely that it's working well for your hair. Just remember to maintain a balanced hair care routine and be mindful of potential interactions with other hair treatments

I'm using Deriva CMS for my acne issues, and I've heard that it initially causes all the acne to surface before it heals the skin. My doctor suggested mixing it with Cetaphil moisturizer, applying it for an hour before bed, washing it off, and then using Cleargel. Since it's winter and my skin tends to get dry, I'm worried it might cause a dry patch. Do you think I could use Deriva CMS as a spot treatment for just a few hours to avoid this? Would love some advice on this!
- Its best to follow your doctor's advice and mix Deriva with Cetaphil to avoid dryness, especially during winter. Using it directly as a spot treatment could cause irritation or dryness. Stick to the recommended routine for better results and comfort.
